When I'm in these situations, I try and put myself into the IP holder's shoes. "if I spent the time, risk, effort, and money to develop the pre-eminent protocol and hardware used by most TV's in the world... would I want

For anyone who wants to see some real workstations that do this, you may want to check out Alex Ziskind's channel on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AZisk At this point, pretty much all he does is review workstations

This is cool, I'd be a bit hesitant to sign into my Apple Account with it though. I've had Apple shut down my account with Hackintosh's in the past.

I wish it was possible to see macOS running well on Linux, but there are a lot of loopholes to jump through to make that happen. 1. Apple makes running their software on non-Mac hardware illegal 2. For all the hate Windows gets, virtualizin

Am sitting at a game jam right now and took a break to browse HN. Found this and started playing for a bit. Now everyone is asking about it, this is a really polished and fun WebGL game. Amazing!

The extremely accurate and high end terrain generation tools do exactly this. They model different terrain densities, erode-ability, and permeability to then apply rain, snow, tectonic shifts, river erosion, thaw-melt, etc over virtualized

As a photographer, I agree. Make multiple copies of the files onto the main editing computer, followed by then also backing up direct from SD to the NAS. Never format or delete your cards (the originals) before you are dead sure you have se

Yeah, seconded. For all cameras of all brands, pop the SD card out and into a reliable reader (I recommend Lexar and Sony hubs). Never use the camera over USB, the experience is terrible on everything from Canon to Sony to Panasonic to Fuji

I think I agree with you. That being said, I have doubts anything will change because I have a feeling that this system is continuing to "work as designed". These failings are exploitable and since the US government is somewhat bo

This is exactly my take on folks bemoaning the evolution of complexity in software (and hardware) worldwide. To lend some credence to other folks points of view, there are arguments I can agree with that are adjacent: - "We don't

Very interesting, and I agree with your assessment of the difficulties using the aging HoloLens. I am curious, what size of clients are you working with and how many contracts has it realistically turned into? I also believe proper AR hardw

Thank you for opening the can of worms. That was my goal when I asked this question! As for what am I thinking of? All of the above! They're all part of my day job for the software I build. Also, this isn't meant to be flippant, I

If you are dropping packets and losing data, why would it matter if you're making one request or several? Even if I SSR and inline all the packages/content, that overall response could be broken up into multiple TCP packets that c

Here in Canada (where the mixup of metric vs imperial tonnes is common) we just say "metric tonnes" and move on. Everyone here knows that means 1000 kg. European colleagues regularly go, "what other kind of tonnes are there?&

And yet, if you go further by taking great care and effort into the mundane, it can become meditative. There is a sense of honour and zen in doing the mundane as perfectly as possible. Not to achieve perfection but strive towards the ideal

The hardest thing to do in life is to care. It's easy to not care, anything bad can happen and you can blissfully wash your hands of it. You don't care, so it doesn't matter. I remember being a teenager, my defense against an

I've honestly come to find flaws in most of what I build over time. This isn't to say that the products I build or the code I write is inherently bad, it's that I keep learning new ways to be better over time and deadlines al
